China sold the first two tranches of its Covid-19-themed special treasury bonds this week, pricing the Rmb100bn ($14.1bn) notes well inside the treasury curve and market expectations. There are some fears about pressure on liquidity, given the total funding target of Rmb1tr, but market watchers said there is little cause for concern just yet. Addison Gong reports.
